I suppose it depends on your narration style. I think that unless it's dramatically important that you get stuck, that the attempt be interpreted as <Open the Seas Today>, and marginal failures result in "After a day, the sea monster disappears from the horizon, and the Opener deems it safe to sail." Marginal success might be "It takes until sunset, but finally the Opener deemsit safe to sail."
